The Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 2 Episode 161
56. New Year’s Plans (3)
I heard about Scrim’s decision to keep the footage private on the day of the awards ceremony.
Kimchi Warrior: Sorry, hyung. Due to our team’s circumstances, it seems we won’t be able to make the scrim public. The Joseon civilization is too strategy-dependent ㅠㅠ
That was essentially the situation.
I accepted it without much fuss.
Because I understood after reviewing the scrim footage myself.
‘I could lose every single game. This actually works out.’
That I could end up showing viewers myself losing constantly.
Facing top-ranked players from various nations while wielding a civilization with such specific characteristics wasn’t easy at all.
My ability to perform well in the England match was partly due to my solid fundamental skills, but more than half of it came down to the fortunate positioning as an ADC that resulted from a series of coincidences.
“Actually, this works out better. People kept asking if you were really a general game streamer. Add this to your New Year’s plans too.”
After hearing this, Juhyeok said that and brought over a game list.
1. Jet Pumped!
2. Ril) Survival Battle or Flash Sword Story Mode
3. Kingdom Age Rosenitta Route
It was the same list that Almond’s viewers were currently looking at.
-Ooooh!
-We voted on this??
-Is Kingdom really on the list!??!?
-Reina noona!
“They said it was a new game, but it feels familiar? lol”
Actually, two of the games on the list were existing games being enjoyed in different ways.
The only truly new game was Jet Pumped, a comedic versus action game.
[Rubisword donated 10,000 won.]
[Hmm. These are all familiar faces, aren’t they?]
-Oof! Your Highness! Oh my stomach!
-Rubisword’s comedy!? Ugh! I’m dying!
Hahaha, you’re not impersonating Ruby!?
A donation filled with humor from Rubisword, who rarely made jokes normally.
-Your Highness I’m dying!
Hahaha oh my god I’m dying laughing
-Oof Chairman! My diaphragm just burst! Ugh ugh!
-Are they all from Asung here? What kind of social life is this;
Countless viewers laughed regardless of whether her joke was actually funny.
It was probably because she was the one who donated most frequently and generously in this room.
“Thank you for the donation, Rubisword. Still, number one is meeting you for the first time.”
As Almond responded, another donation from Rubisword came in.
[Rubisword donated 10,000 won.]
[Oh! Can you explain Jet Pumped a bit?]
“Ah. Yes. Jetpumped!”
Almond smacked his lips as if he’d been waiting for this moment.
-What is this lolol
-Did you prepare this? lol
-lmao
-Almond is so cute lolol
I’d already assumed there would be plenty of viewers who didn’t know what Jetpumped was.
Still, it’s one of the more well-known games, but apparently the balance has been completely ruined lately due to the management’s poor attendance—or perhaps the BM design team’s excessive overwork.
“It’s a comedic fighting game. It’s all about the satisfaction of beating your opponent with your bare hands.”
-Ooooh…
-Ah this one lol
-Fact) Nobody uses bare hands
-Info) It used to be a bare-handed fighting game, but it switched to Marvel Universe battles a while ago
-It’s a pay-to-win garbage game
“You equip parts called ‘Jets’ on your body, and you strengthen them through pumping to fight. If you spend real money as the chat suggests, you become quite a bit stronger.”
-Quite a bit is an understatement
-Quite a bit?
-You mean way stronger, right? lol
-These kids are standing out lol
-Just spend some money, you guys lol
“Anyway, that’s the kind of game it is.”
Almond now began explaining the broadcast format again.
“Through voting on this game, we’ll split it into Part 1 and Part 2 going forward, running two games. Part 2 will be Civelem. Part 1 will be one of the games on the current list. Like this.”
[Dionysus donated 1,000 won.]
[Wait, CEO. Civelem is under a scrim non-disclosure agreement, right?]
“Yes. So Part 2 won’t be broadcast.”
-?
-…?
-???
A flood of question marks.
[Iryeolsuga donated 3,000 won.]
[I thought you were doubling the broadcast time, but you’re cutting it in half? lolol]
-Real talk lol
-What is this lol
-Why lol
[Dionysus donated 10,000 won.]
[CEO. You broke all your promises. Take responsibility.]
-lmao Dionysus lol
-Dionysus again
-Pretending to expand with Part 2, but actually cutting it in half—the magic!?
Why did they make Civil private, damn it ㅠㅠㅠ
Ugh, nooo…
I felt Almond had made the right call explaining the format in more detail once more.
“Dionysus, thank you for the 10,000 won. Once this year’s Civil Masters ends, it means we’ll continue with Part 1 and Part 2 throughout 2036. Wouldn’t that be better from a long-term perspective?”
Why does he talk like he’s threatening people lol
Hahaha~ If you don’t agree now, I’ll just keep doing part 1 forever!
-He took the 10,000 won, but he’s not taking responsibility! Pleasure without responsibility!
-Well, Civil Masters ends before January anyway~!
“First, I’ll post this voting list on Tseugae. Those who have time can vote.”
-ed
-OK got it, blinking sword
-Damn, Kingdom’s done for
All the kingfishers are gathering together lol
I got jet-pumped ㅠㅠ please ㅠ
“Well… let’s move on to the next topic.”
I move forward to the next agenda.
Snap!
I grip the editing pointer once more.
“Collaboration!”
The page turns, and a new topic appears.
4. Collaboration
“We’ve received many opinions that our broadcast doesn’t collaborate enough with other streamers. Since this also seems concentrated only this year, it could be manipulated feedback, but….”
lol
The concept is insane, man haha
Lol, manipulation
“We’ve decided to accept it graciously.”
-???
-?
-Petty person special) Calls themselves magnanimous
I can’t translate this – it appears to be Korean text with keyboard mashing/laughter characters (ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ represents laughing), but the first part (-엌) isn’t a standard word or recognizable phrase.
-Magnanimous: Got pranked once and is currently paying back over 120 times
Though various objections appeared in the chat, I displayed the next screen.
“First, what method should we use for collaboration….”
Click.
1) Joint broadcast
2) Participation in other broadcasts
“These are the methods.”
Joint broadcasts with other streamers and appearing on different shows. Both are essentially the same thing.
In any case, there will be content that isn’t done solo.
-Ooh
-You’re going to become a social butterfly?
-That’s nice
I’m crying because we’re merging/combining
-Kya let’s go world class
The viewers’ reactions were mixed.
Some welcomed it, while others seemed skeptical.
That’s how collaborations typically go.
There was always risk involved.
However, to expand the broadcast further, collaborations with other streamers were apparently essential.
That’s what Juhyeok’s analysis showed.
「Among those who’ve established themselves as major streamers, there wasn’t a single person who didn’t build relationships with other streamers. The synergy that comes from these ‘relationships’ seems quite significant. It’s probably because of character appeal.」
The streamer market is ultimately a battle of characters.
How well he played games, how righteous he was—these things didn’t really matter.
Whether that character was attractive.
That was the issue.
But a character doesn’t fully reveal itself when it exists alone.
Just as you need to compare colors to see one properly, the same applies to character appeal.
This color is complementary to red, and when matched with blue, it looks like this.
When all this information combines, the definition of ‘green’ is completed.
What kind of character Almond was, what color he was.
It would become clearer through relationships with other streamers.
In other words, relationships with other streamers were unavoidable.
This was the conclusion Juhyeok and I had reached.
Starting next year, we’d need to incorporate collaborations regularly.
“There aren’t many scheduled collaborations yet. We’ll probably have something with the Balloon Stars members… and we’re also preparing a collaboration with Lilzandi.”
-lmao
-Lilzandi is collaborating?!
-If it’s a collaboration, will she really show up???
-Lol
-This is gonna be hilarious
Anticipation grew among viewers at the mention of Lilzandi’s appearance.
“And regarding appearances on other broadcasts. We’ve mostly been declining those. But there’s a good offer, and the timing works out, so there’s one with high possibility.”
-???
-What is it?
-For real?
It wasn’t a large-scale entertainment program or anything like that.
It was a broadcast directly operated by Police Company, Ril’s production company.
The decision had been made just yesterday after the awards ceremony through a brief consultation with Juhyeok.
“It’s the incarnation of Inril.”
The incarnation of Inril.
It’s a special broadcast that airs whenever a new Avatar character appears in Ril.
We recruit excellent players and show them how to play the newly released Avatar—that’s the concept of the broadcast.
-??
-For real?
-Wait, isn’t that the broadcast where pros appear?
-That’s insane
Police recruitment is crazy.
Usually, pros appear frequently on this broadcast.
They have high game understanding and incredible skill, after all.
But this time, Almond is appearing.
Not even a pro—not even a Ril Challenger.
“That’s… I think I was recruited because it’s an Avatar that shoots arrows.”
One-shot kill, crazy
-That’s crazy
-New character coming out???
-Is this a spoiler? lol
“Oh. I’m not supposed to talk about this, am I?”
-lol you messed up
-Already done
-Spoiler ban
-Next broadcast?
-Number 2 is getting removed from the voting list
Actually, it’s fine to say this much.
Almond knew that too.
It wasn’t just permitted—they actually recommended leaking a bit of information.
To build up anticipation.
Though a few sharp-eyed viewers did catch on that it was an act.
-Looks like bad acting lol
This is an ad, damn it.
Nut-type insertion ads lol
-Take out the hidden ads!
“Ahem. Ah, there’s one more broadcast I have a high chance of appearing on.”
-Another one?
-So all you need is determination to become an insider!?
-Ooh
-Super insider
“It’s called ‘Main Avatar Showcase.’ It’s a broadcast where you show off your main Avatar… they said you’d understand if I just called it the Craftsman’s Guest Seat.”
-Main Avatar Showcase lol
-If you play one over a thousand times, you basically become a craftsman lol
-Ah, the Craftsman’s Guest Seat lol
-Oh, I saw that
-If it’s Ril, does she go out as Reina’s master??
“Surprisingly, instead of wanting me as a Reina master, she said she wanted me as a Rubisword master. But I’m not sure how the schedule will work out.”
-???
Isn’t the blink sword game record 0? lol
I only did it at competitions, but I’m a master at it lol
In fact, Almond’s official Rubisword play record is zero.
This is because plays on tournament servers don’t count as official game records.
And since it was a non-official tournament like Lilchamps, it would be even more so.
That’s right.
Almond’s Rubisword data exists only in that non-official tournament.
And only in the finals at that.
“And now, the final number 5.”
Almond flipped to the last page as if he’d said everything he needed to say.
5. Thank You
A thank you text overlaid on Almond’s ‘chikichah’ photo.
This was the final page.
“It’s just a page I added with a freshman presentation vibe. Thank you.”
Almond bowed his head toward the camera.
Pop!
He pulled something out from somewhere and stuck it on the crown of his head.
-???
-What is it?
That crazy bastard lol
No; haha
That’s so annoying lol
Only when he lifted his head did it become clear what it was.
It was a toy arrow.
“New year’s plans complete.”
Lol that’s such an unrestrained/wild reaction
-Almond-style broadcast ending (physical)
I’m dying laughing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
When the heck did you prepare that arrow lolol
-Wait, he’s ending it like this????
Don’t go ㅠㅠ
Pop.
The screen went black.
[Corporal Elite Warrior donated 10,000 won!]
[Is that thing on your head a plunger by any chance?]
Only a belated donation echoed emptily.
-He really went for it
-What’s with the donation lol
-A plunger lmaooo
-He’s never missed once
-Almond’s special) Just donated
-Thinking about how he kept that thing prepared and sitting next to him the whole time is so funny lol
-Oh lol it’s the plunger from the Zombie School bathroom lol
-The donor is so pitiful lol
I’m crying / This is frustrating ㅠㅠ
-Dad ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Bye
The lonely chat of the remaining viewers gradually disappeared, and the broadcast ended completely.
[Sangbyeong Elite Warrior donated 1,000 won.]
[Oh…]

* * *
After the broadcast ended.
A notice appeared on Tseugae.
[Please vote for the next game.]
1. Jet Pumped!
2. Ril) Survival Battle or Blink Sword Story Mode
3. Kingdom Age Rosenitta Route
I could truly vote for the game I wanted.
-Wow, this is democracy!?
-Mom! I got another voting right!
“Really, in a country like this… is it even okay to vote? ㅠㅠ”
Since it was almost the first time my broadcast took viewer opinions and did something with them.
There were many comments that seemed moved.
Most of all, they seemed to like the fact that Tseugae had opened itself.
-The broadcast ended? Who decided that!?
This is it ㅠㅠ Almond community ㅠㅠ True happiness ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Tseugae died today lol Posts “100x”
When Tseugae opened, viewers could spend time chatting with each other about broadcast-related topics even after the stream ended.
It was similar to how people with the same interests formed temporary clubs or groups.
Sure enough, posts began appearing on Tseugae rapidly.
Since I would read them tomorrow before starting the broadcast.
[Real-time Almond Cheeky Chat Compilation lol]
[Reason for Increased Number of Banned Viewers in Today’s Broadcast]
[Why Blink Sword 3-Star Clear Became Harder After Jeon-ja-pa]
[Almond Entertainment Category Rank 3 Real?]
[Everyone, check out Rosenitta~~]
[Ah, that short hair legend ㅠㅠㅠ photo collection]
[Sharing photos taken directly at the awards ceremony]
.
.
.
And so on.
As game-related posts, photos and videos of Almond, and more continued to flood in, Tseugae became completely packed.
Naturally, the vote count kept climbing.
[25,000 participants.]
Perhaps because it was the first vote?
By the next day, nearly 80% of those who watched the live broadcast participated in voting.
-What’s with this voting rate lol
-Insane lol
-If we rank first here, does that mean they do this in part 1??
└Yeah
└Yeah that’s right
-Presidential election level voting rate lol
After collecting votes through the next day like this.
The game rankings were as follows.
